Brown about to sign on dotted line

'The signing of Brown, who has played six full seasons with the Sabres and appeared in games three other years, will leave Buffalo with just four unsigned NHL players: center Chris Drury, wingers Miroslav Satan and Ales Kotalik and defenseman Jay McKee. Brown will become the sixth Sabres center under contract, joining Steve Begin, Daniel Briere, Tim Connolly, Adam Mair and rookie Derek Roy.'
